A few sighs from hell, or, The groans of a damned soul. Or, An exposition of those words in the sixteenth of Luke, concerning the rich man and the beggar : wherein is discovered the lamentable state of the damned : their cries, their desires in their distresses, with the determination of God upon them. A good warning word to sinners, both old and young, to take into consideration betimes, and to seek by faith in Jesus Christ to avoid, lest they come into the same place of torment. Also a brief discourse touching the profitableness of the Scriptures for our instruction in the way of righteousness, according to the tendency of the said parable. / By that poor and contemptible servant of Jesus Christ, John Bunyan.A few sighs from hell, or, The groans of a damned soul.

Thirdly, may not thy Father, thy Mother, thy Brother, thy Sister, thy Friend, &c. appear with gladness against th•e at the terrible day? Saying, O thou silly son, or daughter, brother, or sister, or friend! Oh •ow rightly hath God met with thee! O how righteously doth his sentence pass upon thee? Remember, thou wouldst not be ruled nor persuaded in thy life time: as thou didst not care for us, and our admonitions ⟨p. 228⟩then, so neither do we care for thy ruin, terror and damnation now. No, but we will stand on Gods side in sentencing of thee to that portion which the devils must be partakers of. O sad! it is enough to make mountains tremble, and the rocks to rend in pieces, to hear this doleful sound. Consider these things, and if thou wouldest be loth to be in this condition, then have a care of living in sin now. O consider how loth thou wilt be to be thrust away from the gates of heaven, and how lo•• thou wilt be to be deprived of the ••rcy of God.
